Traveler reviews
Wally Turnbull
★★★★★2 months agoA perfect rose garden Formal enough to be impressive and casual enough to be intimate. Located in the huge Parc de la Tête d'Or, Lyon’s International Rose Garden is the largest and most elegant of three rosaries spread quite far apart. We had the good fortune of visiting in May when the roses were in peak bloom. The variety is not only in colors but also in sizes and shapes. I’ve grown roses for 50 years and had no idea some of those cultivars existed or were even possible. Visit with a loved one. It’s beautiful, educational, and romantic.

★★★★★a year agoNestled within the sprawling beauty of Lyon's Parc de la Tête d'Or, the Roseraie Internationale is a truly enchanting destination. This magnificent rose garden is a vibrant tapestry of color and fragrance, offering a serene escape from the city bustle. Home to an astonishing collection of rose varieties from around the world, the Roseraie is a joy to explore. Paths wind through meticulously maintained beds, each bursting with blooms of every conceivable hue and form. The air is thick with the sweet, intoxicating scent of roses, creating a truly immersive sensory experience.
